    I proudly wear a t-shirt that has a 550 and a 355, just black on white. It doesn't say Ferrari anywhere. It just says across the top, "We will never build an SUV"

    Please don't let them go down the path of Brand X.

    LOL! Looks like a Nissan Murano from the rear 3/4!

    P.S. Above pic (expert photoshop of the concept, right?) appears based on the Porsche Cayenne?

    Ah the F version of the Maser Kubang. The one I drove was still slower than my wife's turbo Cayenne but they told me they were going to stuff the 612 engine into it so maybe they'll get over the Cayenne's 165 mph which is very important for SUV owners.

    Only if they build it in carbon fibre with a V12 at 800+hp - then it might be fun. Otherwise NO!

    A Ferrari in next year's Paris-Dakar? Now that'd be cool. And the only use of a Ferrari SUV.

    How about it, Jim? You drive the SUV and I follow with parts in the supply truck.

    Hey one of my worse mistakes was not buying the 5th OA JI 959 Carrera.
    I still dream about that car.

    It's the land mines and bullets in that race that make it a REAL challenge!

    We can only hope the France family doesn't pick up on THAT feature for their next series................

    Quiet out there...........WWWWWEAAAAALLLY quiet!

    Oh, you had a chance to? Wow.

    Wasn't the 959 the only car to ever win Dakar AND Le Mans? Talk about a versatile racer. It would have eaten the 288 GTO alive...

    I REALLY hope ferrari doesn't stoop as low as to make a suv, but I don't kinda like the look of it.

    I gagged on the Mercedes SUV. I vomited when I saw the 1st Porsche SUV. I think tonic-clonic would be appropriate for a Ferrari SUV.

    Ferrari is a big business now, increasing production, licensing its name, wants to go public, its no longer a tiny company owned by an eccentric genius named Enzo that was soley concerned with passion for cars and his reputation and good name over profits, a Ferrari SUV fits right in the business plan for market expansion and increased production for bigger profits for a public company.

    I shudder at the sound of that and even question the logic: With the apparently (not really due to lack of inflation accounting) rising fuel prices I think (hope!), that the public will soon loose interest in these glorified construction machines and go back to street cars.

    Remember what the Hummer was invented for? To go to war. Not shopping.
